>> in a fox news exclusive. red flags were raised about the colorado massacre, less than a month before he opened fire on a packed movie theater. the owner of a private gun range tells us james holmes applied for a membership at his club in late june. but when glenn rock vich called him to follow-up. he got a voice mail that was unnerving, he described it to me earlier today. >> he when i called him, the answering machine was very bizarre at best, it was a deep sounding voice, dragging, noticeably not drunk, but
7:12 pm
sended to be weird and bizarre and i could pick out a few words that he said like, it was james and so on, and a couple of other things, you know. but it was just one of those really bizarre messages that people put on and i thought, well, okay, whatever, and then after i called him three times, he never called back. and i just decided that we, you know, i wasn't going to call him anymore, because it was kind of a bizarre message and we would flag him to be able to talk to him before he could join the range. >> jon: he says he tried holmes a few more times and always got the same voice mail and eventually he gave up and never heard from holmes again. and as investigators follow the trail of weapons, one store confirmed it sold some supplies to holmes and the gun store, camp five has an online score, tactical gear.com and finding the receipts that he made four purchases on july

7:26 pm
massacre. meantime, police collecting evidence to use against suspected gunman james holmes, they believe he received deliveries over more than four months to his home and school. and say the attack early friday morning was well planned in advance. i spoke with aurora police chief daniel oats earlier about the work his officers were doing, take a listen. >> what's the biggest challenge for your department now? >> i think fatigue. really. we're pretty taxed. we've got a lot to do today, this prayer vigil is terribly important to the community and we've got challenges and logistics around that and we're honored to have the president here and we need him to be here, and the victim need to spend time with him and that presents some challenges for us. so, today is a really important day and i sent an e-mail to the organization this morning, saying basically, mange in there, you're doing-- hang in there, you're doing a great job and we're so proud of the employees in this department and so thankful and
7:27 pm
proud of our colleagues in law enforcement in the area because we couldn't have done what we have done and need to do without their help. >> and we've heard high praise for your department in the job that's been done to this point. do you feel that you can assure the citizens of aurora that there isn't some second suspect out there? >> yeah, i'm very confident of that. i don't think there's any second suspect out there. >> i mean, obviously, we'll continue investigations of this entire matter and we'll work very hard to understand all of mr. holmes' and acquaintances and it's to think of his behavior, not that we think of any suspect in particular that helped him in this. it's a perverse enough crime for one person to formulate it. i don't think it's conceivable right now that there's a second person who is in on this, on this, on this. >> the time line that you have
7:28 pm
laid out suggests that there was roughly four months of planning, at least four months of planning that went into this. do you think that it goes back farther than that? is there any indication of new evidence that it goes back farther? >> well, i mean, i'll go back to what i know aen what i've revealed is that he started having shipments four months ago and obviously, we doesn't know now, if we wouldn't share with the media what else he was doing prior to that. i said, i think, yesterday four months of this kind of activity, accumulating this material and the manner in which he did, amounts to some pretty serious deliberation on his part, so, the investigation continues. and this is an area where the feds can really help us, and the fbi has been great because the extent he's reaching out across the nation to gather this material, our federal colleges will track it down,
7:29 pm
exceptionally good for us. >> and i know a big thing in investigating any crime is the money. he may have spent maybe $15,000 assembling the weaponry and the potential explosives. what do you know about where that money came from? >> i don't personally know anything about that right now. my investigators, i'm sure are working on that, and hopefully we'll get some answers, you know, this thing is so big and so complex, it will take time, and i'm sure we'll get to the bottom of those kinds of questions, eventually. >> let me give you one last option, opportunity to say some words to the citizens of your community and to your officers. >> well, you know, this is a great community and it's really rallying. i think this prayer vigil tonight, this memorial service, this will be a really important moment. i drove by the theater yesterday, just to say high to my cops who are guarding it and the spontaneous outpouring around the theater, i'm sure
7:30 pm
you've got images of it. the big poster, everyone is signing, it's powerful stuff. this community is grieving and i spent this morning listening to 30 voice mails on my phone, many of them from citizens. and the community's grieving, i think the community's proud of the way it's responding to this. obviously, my cops and my civilian employees have done an incredible job and we couldn't be more proud of them. you know, we train and we train and we train for active shooter situations and it's a legacy of columbine and other incidents and as a police chief, i never thought in my mind i would really be coping with that or my cops would, and they did the other night, and they did an incredible job. >> you can see the department badly taxed by the events that began less than 72 hours ago. so many questions police cannot answer, such as a possible motive or what the suspect told them.
7:31 pm
all of this is expected to come out of the legal process that unfolds. as chief oats just mentioned, investigators are hard at work, trying to preserve evidence found at the scene and at james holmes' apartment and the sole suspect in the killings will appear in court for his arraignment tomorrow morning and joining me now to talk about what we can expect. judge jeanine pirro, so it's a court appearance for the suspect tomorrow morning, probably a pretty perfunctory affair. >> originally we thought it was an arraignment. in arizona where it happens-- >> colorado. >> colorado, the way it happens they have an advisement hearing and that basically means that the defendant and miss attorney advise that they're under investigation or that the defendant is under investigation and then within 72 hours, the d.a. has to file an information of some sort and that kicks in a probable cause hearing, and then the system begins, it's a little different in colorado, than it is in other states. >> so, are we going to be
7:32 pm
hearing the entry after plea or do we know that yet? >> i thought that we'll even hear an entry of a plea plea, it's not an adversarial hearing, it's an advisory hearing. that's what they call it. it's an opportunity for them to be advised of what's being investigated and for most people they might need that, and in this case it's quite clear that i don't think that james holmes or his attorney needs to know what he's being investigated for, but, we understand that it's a public defender, who is a very experienced, knowledgeable individual. and of course, the prosecutor here is a female prosecutor who fought the death penalty in the past, six times in four cases and suspect that this case will go as people expect. one issue, is he competent? issue number two, is he sane? and these are the issues that we will see litigated as we go forward. >> we just heard the police chief stay that this is a very complicated case, i mean, they have all kinds of evidence yet
7:33 pm
to be gathered and they have the not finished that process yet. so i can imagine that it could be a year, two years, maybe more, before this guy steps into a courtroom for the actual trial. >> you know, the chief was correct when he said that this really was a joint effort on the part of state, local, federal agencies and what you've got are two separate crime scenes, jon, you've got the theater and then his residence and they have the hard drive and going through all kinds of information there, and you have the booby traps, and the evidence, the trail of where he got this stuff from, e-mails, cell phones, people who knew him, who might not or might have had a sense that something is happening, discovery will take a long time in a case like this. and i suspect this case will not go forward for a very long time and the change for that, justice delayed is it justice denied, but the system has to work and as the chief stow clearly told you, they want to do this right and make sure that they've got everything that they need to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt. >> and it's probably too early
7:34 pm
to be asking a question like this, but in a case like this, where it's receiving not only national, but international coverage, does a change of venue even make sense? >> you know, that's a good question, jon, and i thought about that. would a change of venue make sense? i don't think so. certainly people in this particular county are very connected by it. you can feel it here, the pain is palable, the grieving is real. i'm not sure unless you're connected to the case you couldn't be fair, whether you're from colorado or from another state. i think the people are just so stunned right now, that it's too hard to know, you know, where people can, cannot be touched by a case like this. >> and again, the first appearance tomorrow monday. >> tomorrow morning, local time. >> you can catch justice with judge jeanine, after the huckabee report which follows.
7:35 pm
and you can cover the movie massacre, gregg jarrett. >> in iowa two missing cousins, they believe that ten-year-old lyric cook-morrissey and elizabeth collins are still alive. and they're asking anyone who was at the lake that day before three in the afternoon to come forward. >> even if you don't think that you have any information that's important to this case, the investigators want to talk to you, talk with you. don't assume we know what you know. >> reporter: we're told investigators are interviewing persons of interest in the case. they would not elaborate on whom they're speaking to. >> a fox weather alert, scorching heat returning to the central part of the country, including farming areas, suffering from one of the worst droughts in decades,
7:36 pm
meteorologist maria molina with more. >> yes, good to see you. kansas city is 100, dallas texas 100 and 96 currently in the the city of rapid city, it's not just going to be hot the remainder of today. mid week. cities in omaha, st. louis, kansas city, triple digits for monday, tuesday and even on wednesday and even we factor it in and it feels even worse as you head out the door and of course, this is one of the areas hit hard with a drought across central parts of the country and so we're continuing to see the dry conditions and very hot temperatures making conditions even worse. tulsa, oklahoma, and next three days, expecting triple digit temperatures and little rock on tuesday, a high at 100 degrees and we have a number of excessive heat warnings and advisories in place across the areas, because the heat index, will be well over 100 degrees. >> all right. maria molina.
